edit /etc/modules.conf
change any occurance of xircom_cb to tulip.
save the file and reboot. (again .. sorry)

as for your acpi did you kill the acpid or just disable it on startup. you may want to type service acpid stop and make sure it's down.

in the meantime i'm going to research finding a good network troubleshooting tool since there aren't any logs when these things crash. they simply die without a whimper.

dear iluminati1723, i'm sorry but i don't have a copy of fedora yet so i'm totally in the dark there.

well saturday's almost over here now.

see you later.

Jeff,
I checked all IRQs related things.
Everythins looks OK.
I compared IRQs on XP and Fedora they are the same, memory range the
same.
USB Sound and NIC share IRQ11.
There is no confilcts (visible) in Fedora.
Service starts. Stops to work. And if you restart it. Could not be restarted...
If you have an idea tell me.
I will post this issue on Fedora forum. May be somebody there have a clue...
Thanks.
Michael.

Jeff sorry,
probably I have uninstall Fedora and return to Suse...
on Fedora forum a lot of vews of my questions but there is no answer...
weird problem.
when I type ifconfig after start it shows errors of packets for eth0 and lo
and dies slowly...
I will wait one more day may be you will suggest something else.
Anyway thanks a lot for help.
I study something new from your advices.
Michael.

i can't blame you for that. sorry i didn't get back sooner it was a busy weekend. i am clueless at this point. i don't have time or spare hardware to play with fedora. so i can't try to replicate your problem.

i think i've read that fedora is suposed to be a leading edge, rapidly changing test environment. perhaps it's not ready yet. i'm a little nervous about the migration path for rh9 since fedora is supposed to be the consumer branch. it seems at this point that it's a bit of a gamble whether or not it will work.

i'll keep digging for some network test tool.

Thank you very much for all your input.
Michael.

thanks for replying.

In this case, however, the card is working then it's performance degrades until it's useless.
